TL;DR: It is demonstrated that domestic pigs of Near Eastern ancestry were definitely introduced into Europe during the Neolithic (potentially along two separate routes), reaching the Paris Basin by at least the early 4th millennium B.C.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possible interrelations between climatic and economic changes in the Neolithic period of lake-dwelling and assume crop failures as the main reason, which caused intensified hunting and gathering.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of short-term climatic fluctuation on the economy of human communities and found that during short periods of climatic deterioration high levels of hunting were observed, leading them to conclude that during these phases of wild resources like game were more intensively exploited.

TL;DR: These data provide direct proof of milk and meat consumption and farming practices for a sustainable dairying in Neolithic villages in central Europe around 4000 BC.

TL;DR: Results provide evidence for the archaeological hypothesis that the bone and antler artifacts were specific tools which were deliberately fashioned, and pretreated and maintained with a preservative material based on plant oil likely from seeds of Linum usitatissimum (flax) and Papaver somniferum (poppy).
